Can machine learning and AI make programmers obsolete? Can AI make software coding and debugging a thing of the past?

Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.

Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?

Here’s the proof :

What do you think hell is like?

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?

To the reader/asker:

Do Republicans want to ban books and decide what your kids can and can’t read?

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):

And hey Claude? There’s a reserved float division /. if both numbers are floats, for sure (19) but so can one use // even though both are integers (20):

Have you or anyone you know invested in cryptocurrencies before? If so, which one did you invest in and how much profit did you make?

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

Can one still satisfy the desires of Black women with a more discreet endowment?"?

Let’s ask Claude Sonnet 3.5, which is quite the advanced model (at par with Deepseek V3 R1 and GPT 4o) a very simple question:

And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:

And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):

There's no way Republican Trump won all seven swing states. How was he able to cheat and steal the election?

As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.

Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!
